By Josh Cohen Aaron Gordon’s versatility is what makes him such an intriguing young player. In the play featured below, Gordon ends up guarding three different players who all have different skillsets. He starts off chasing Thabo Sefolosha around screens, picks up Pero Antic after an inadvertent pass and swipes Dennis Schroder on his drive to the basket. WATCH: Power forwards have trouble driving on Gordon, who has extremely quick feet and lateral instincts. Gordon is very mobile and can slide over to help when a man is open in the paint. He also can come up with super impressive defensive stops like in the play featured below.
